* -en USAt Capgemini Invent, we believe difference drives change. As inventive transformation consultants, we blend our strategic, creative and scientific capabilities, collaborating closely with clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions. Join us to drive transformation tailored to our client's challenges of today and tomorrow. Informed and validated by science and data. Superpowered by creativity and design. All underpinned by technology created with purpose.

At frog we are united by our shared passion for outcomes that transform the human experience. We accomplish these outcomes by taking on complex challenges, big asks, and things that have never been done before. We look beyond point solutions and apply design to the creation of new strategies, systems, and - in some cases - entirely new businesses. We know that takes all types of people.

We believe that diverse backgrounds and experiences create a stronger frog.

Our work is transformational because our people are extraordinary. frogs are analytical and artistic, conservative and unconventional, technical and whimsical. We look for hybrid talents and build teams around divergent expertise, which allows us to solve problems and uncover opportunities in unique ways. frogs are some of the best talent in the world, and together we advance the human experience through design.##

Your Role#
** This Job is on-site in Boulder, CO**### ###
** This is a Fixed Term (6 months with possibility of extension) Employment.
**** The Position:
** Mechanical engineers at frog are embedded in the design team to deliver innovative design solutions to problems that seem impossible. While we do rethink traditional products, our work goes beyond the expected to work across scales and product categories, from consumer products to transportation to store pop-ups and city scale architectures to physically mediated experiences. We brainstorm concepts, build evaluative prototypes, study emerging technologies, architect products, create manufacturing strategies, and ensure that products reflect the design intent through production – all this while evaluating, communicating, and balancing conflicting project requirements.

We collaborate with frogs, clients, suppliers, and partners. We ensure products are feasible, yet as a team, we are highly collaborative across disciplines, welcome new perspectives, and challenge each other to make sure that our work shines.

The ideal candidate will be excited about the evolution of design: we are no longer just designing isolated objects, but elements of an increasingly large and complex connected ecosystem. The ideal candidate will champion the idea that for design to succeed in today’s complex world, we can no longer isolate hardware from software from services – meaningful, impactful design is a holistic endeavor.

This is the backdrop against which our mechanical engineering must contribute and fit into.
** This Role:
** This is an exciting on-site role with our client in Boulder, CO. You'll be embedded full-time working directly alongside our client's internal softgoods design and engineering teams. You'll bring the prototyping lifecycle to life end-to-end: turning early concepts into high-fidelity, production-representative samples through hands-on fabrication, defining the prototyping process for small build quantities, feeding what you learn on the floor back into tooling and process improvements, and partnering with test engineering to prove they perform.

This is hands-on work — expect as much time in the lab as at the CAD workstation, with build iterations turning around in days. If you love the challenge of engineering rigor applied to materials that bend, stretch, and breathe, this is it.
** The Contribution:**
* ** Innovate**. Solve problems and address whatever challenge may arise, including the unique constraints softgoods materials bring to design and manufacturing.
* ** Conduct core hands-on engineering tasks**, such as design, prototyping, analysis, 3D CAD modeling, and…
